At least 8h spent figuring out these action scenes for an AI short film - sneak peek into my XPRIZE Future Vision contest short film. I think I pivoted 10 times already on the main script and it’s only getting better 🔥

A silver-haired man cups a glowing orb, then the view moves over a futuristic city and a sci-fi terrace.

I made a five-city fashion campaign in one weekend. Not a single shoot happened. São Paulo. New York. Paris. London. Shanghai. I turned each city's architecture into the model itself. This is Dream Opera. EVERY CITY WEARS ITSELF. Which city wins?

Made a 30-second luxury construction ad. One Seedance 2.5 prompt, no shoot, no crew. 12 cuts. Québécois dialogue, lip-synced. A blueprint that builds itself into a mansion, rooms that regrow on a finger snap, a drone reveal over the Laurentians. Making it look good wasn't the hard part. Making it

My #FutureVisionXPRIZE trailer, THE ASKING, is officially live. My story takes place in 2179, after humanity’s bio-digital technology for repairing Earth shuts itself down to escape our abuse. Two children discover its last surviving master seed and must prove humanity deserves another chance. Spe

I submitted my entry to the Future Vision XPRIZE yesterday. Made the whole thing alone: no crew, no budget, just me and AI tools that fought me on almost every shot. Sharing 10 sec for now, since competition rules keep the full trailer under wraps until it's reviewed. The moment it's approved, you'

My XPRIZE Future Vision submission is finally taking shape. This isn’t the trailer. It’s the 10-second cold open that plays before the trailer. A rapid-fire sequence of the biggest, most intriguing moments, then… cut to black, studio logo, and the real 3-minute trailer begins. I won’t lie, hitting

The future probably won’t belong to giant studios alone. And it also won’t belong to prompt spammers flooding timelines with random generations. The people who win will be the ones who combine: • taste • story instinct • editing rhythm • cinematography knowledge • emotional restraint • obsessive i

People think AI filmmaking removes effort. It doesn’t. It shifts the effort upstream. Instead of managing cameras and crews all day, you spend hours: • rejecting frames • refining visual language • rebuilding continuity • testing compositions • shaping pacing • grading atmosphere • sequencing emo

Day "I dunno which one" in a life of directing a short film - so far everything getting more complicated than it should be for this short film that I am trying to pull off. And the deeper I dive into the story and the shots, the more I realize I am missing "this other something else" that I didn't t
